XP64 supports several versions of AutoCAD. Which one do you use? Vista doesn't run Autodesk products more than a couple versions old... I think 2008 is supported but not 2007... I could be wrong.

As for the specs, it depends a lot on your budget, but it's hard to go wrong with a Core 2 Quad box with 4GB RAM and a Geforce 8800 series. (Unless you run Revit - then it's very easy to go wrong with a Geforce and what you really want is a FireGL.)
